Which Groovy-based frameworks are you most interested in? Some of the big ones: Grails, Griffon, Gradle, Gaelyk, GPars, Spock...

Grails, Gradle, Gant, and GPars.

Introduction

I am a senior developer (16+ years) with about 12 years of JVM experience. I have worked with groovy for about 3 1/2 years, including embedded it into an existing app, writing a DSL for it, and building grails apps.

We're about:

If you develop software on the Java platform there are compelling reasons for investing in Groovy and the numerous Groovy-based frameworks -- Grails, Griffon, Gradle, Ratpack, Spock, etc.

The purpose of this group is to cultivate a local community for learning and sharing about experiences with the Groovy and Grails ecosystem. The group is open to anyone, but it is oriented towards developers who want to learn how to build software better, faster, and have more fun doing it.

Since the Groovy community is much smaller than the Java community, we will aim to have meetings in a geographically central location (either in DC or inside the beltway in Northern Virginia).

Our meetings tend to be informal, and combine a focused talk with an open discussion.
